Mark Cuban's $100,000 blog entry

Source: Blogebrity

markcuban.jpgBlogebrity has granted Mark Cuban, the maverick billionaire blogger and media mogul who owns the Dallas Mavericks, permanent A-list blogger status. Why? For getting fined $200k for blogging. The NBA fined Cuban $100,000 for going onto the court after Game 1 of Dallas' series against the Spurs and another $100,000 for being critical of the league regarding the selection of playoff officials, and how to improve playoff officiating on blogmaverick.com. Well, the blog part was "only" $100,000, but still. Cuban's got the dough so I guess the Media Bloggers Association won't be coming to his aid.
